One of my morning traditions is racing out the door. It's not that I don't get up early enough, but I forget how long it actually takes me to get loaded in the car and take off. So after racing out the the car, I realized I had forgotten the cell phone inside. I came barrelling back through the door past Emily who was coming down the stairs. Without me saying a word, Emily shouted out "Daddy forgot the cell phone!" It's just amazing what a 2 year-old can notice.
Of course, after saying this, Emily got a gleeful look of satisfaction on her face. Almost to say, "Hello world! Look at me! I just identified what is going on." She was laughing, not at my air-headedness, but from delight in her own ability to make an observation. Kids are amazing.
